Windows 7 - A required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing

I went in to Bios and change RAID to Native IDE and managed to install windows 7 via disk. If I change it back to raid, windows fails to boot and restarts itself.

Will this be a problem having the system running like this? Speed issues? Performance?

When you reported back only RAID and IDE choices for SATA controller with no AHCI, I should have asked you to confirm which was selected, but instead assumed it was set to IDE since RAID would only be used for RAID configurations. But I'm glad you sorted it out that the RAID setting was the cause of the problem.

AHCI confers certain advantages such as hot-plugging but most report no performance improvement, so IDE is fine as the default and should have been set there unless you previously had RAID on that machine.

Oh right, thats fine then. Thanks for you help dude, I appretiate the time you took to try and figure out this problem with me.

Once again cheers!

Good work.

I guess you can mark your thread Solved at the top if there's nothing else.

Done
